Andy expected Universal to be tough.

This was the case with Dwayne Johnson at the beginning. Universal Pictures was reluctant to let go, and Neil was unwilling to give up his own interests, which led to the final two shots. Andy cleverly took advantage of them to let Renly. Won the chance to perform; now it's Renly's turn to raise his pay, and Universal Pictures naturally won't let it go.

But putting Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Renly Hall on the same scale? Andy really laughed in anger.

Anyone in the industry knows that commercial value can be created. In the past three decades, the box office hegemons have changed several times, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Johnny Depp. , Robert Downey Jr.... But outside of them, the newcomers with box office appeal came one after another, almost before the front wave had time to climb up, the latter wave rushed up again. Fresh faces are always welcome in commercial films, even for male protagonists, and Chris Hemsworth is the latest representative.

But in the past 30 years, the old actors with outstanding acting skills are still those, Meryl Streep, Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Penn, Denzel Washington, etc. Why? This time the Oscars talk about the rise of Generation Y is so lively because the actors of Generation X failed to live up to expectations and failed to take over the burden from the baby boomers. Now, Renly has become a generation y acting leader comparable to Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence, which is the most valuable.

To put it simply, the positioning of Renly and the two Chriss is different, and the future development potential is also different. It is not a situation that can be compared at all, but Michael has completed the "statistics" so simply and rudely. People are ridiculous and funny.

Andy still had a bright smile on his face, but the power of his words was extremely heavy, and he fired back with a gun and a stick, "This is actually quite good, you can go to Chris, any Chris Either way. I'm not sure if Disney signed an exclusive deal, but I'm sure you'll get the answers you've been expecting."

In such an interview situation, Andy's response can even be said to be rude. Even Neil's expression froze, let alone Michael, the atmosphere quickly cooled down, Michael didn't even want to maintain his polite smile, looked at Andy with a serious face, and seemed to be questioning: Are you? Are you kidding me?

"$10 million for a spinoff movie; $8 million for two sequels. In addition, there is a 5% box office dividend." Hidden under Andy's amiable smile, but It is the ambition of the lion's big mouth.

In today's meeting, Universal Pictures has been putting pressure on it from the very beginning, and every detail is reminding Andy not to act rashly. In front of the six big crocodiles in Hollywood, Renly is still only a small Xiami, they could give up Dawn and choose Renly at the beginning, but now they can also give up Renly and pick another actor to join the filming of the sequel.

Since the other party has already worked so hard, then Andy does not conform to the situation, blackmails a sum of money well, and expresses Renly's arrogance of "not knowing the heights of the sky", then I am so sorry for Universal Pictures' such painstaking efforts.

Under such conditions, it can be said that the level of first-line actors is basically the same as Vin Diesel's status in "speed and passion". For the current Renly, it is indeed beyond the scope of ability. outside.

After Andy said it, Neil couldn't help being stunned, but Michael laughed directly, taking it for granted that Andy was joking, but then seeing Andy's serious look, the smile solidified at the corner of Michael's mouth Living.

Originally, Andy didn't intend to be so aggressive, but now, he just showed his strength and dominance, and this is not the end. "Of course, we have other ways to cooperate." This sentence made Michael's stiff face a little better, but then it was comparable to the bottom of the pot.

"We can start talking about the rumored movie. The cooperation agreement for the sequel, and then we will talk slowly." Andy threw a "for sale" gesture, and his confident attitude showed his trust in Renly. As time goes on, Andy believes that Renly's salary is only high or low, and Universal Pictures will regret it at that time. "As for the rumored film, I think this is a perfect proposal. As a member of the Creative Artists Agency, I am very happy to lead the entire team to contribute to the casting of this rumored film and create a perfect cast."

The innovative artist agency is currently the well-deserved industry leader in Hollywood. Its actors account for almost 30% of the entire Hollywood, and there are definitely only a lot more. Such a giant, even in front of top giants like Warner Bros. and Disney, Not showing weakness either.

Any actor can be replaced, this is the iron law of Hollywood. Offending a Renly is nothing at all; but offending Andy and the creative artist agency he represents is trouble. However, the creative artist agency is also an industry tycoon. Will they tear up with Universal Pictures because of one Renly? Obviously not.

Between the lightning and flint, Michael's mind was also full of thoughts, and finally turned into a burst of laughter, "Haha, I have heard that you are very humorous, and today I finally got to know it. We very much welcome the follow-up comprehensive cooperation, but about the Renly's signing agreement, that's absolutely impossible."

Andy didn't refute, the smile on his face never changed, "Privately and at work.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm very clear about it. I believe so are you. As for the Universal Pictures signing, you should know, that's absolutely impossible. "

Both Michael and Andy refused to give in, and for a while, the atmosphere became stiff here. This was not just a personal battle, but also a game between two top companies. No one would compromise easily.

Neil, who was caught in the middle, expressed his misery. He coughed twice, breaking the frozen air, "Today is just the first time we met, and our conversation was so sparkling. It seems that the future We can look forward to the cooperation. Next, we still have many, many parts to discuss the details of the cooperation, right?"

Neil cast inquiring glances at the two of them, but neither of them responded immediately, and the whole conversation was stuck in mid-air. In the end, Andy was the first to laugh out loud, "Of course, the so-called cooperation has not even taken the first step yet."

In this confrontation, Michael, who had the upper hand for a short time, slightly raised his jaw and straightened his waist, showing the demeanor of a superior, "Then let's stop here for the time being today. I don't want to delay your trip to the airport. family is always the most important thing.”

Without politeness or greeting, he cut off the topic jerky and tough, and once again declared Universal Pictures' initiative - when it comes to the competition for core interests, the toughness of the six major film companies is unquestionable.

Andy knew that Michael was seeing off a guest, he didn't panic at all, he stood up and said with a smile, "I think there is still a lot of work to be done within Universal Pictures, so I won't continue to delay the seriousness. Work. Goodbye."

He patted his butt neatly and left, but the hint in his words gave a powerful counterattack: Neil and Michael did not seem to be in the same heart. Also, what is Ron Mayer's attitude?

Michael didn't leave the office, just Neil sent Andy to the elevator. Today's meeting broke up like this, but the beginning was not so pleasant. At the time when the summer season was lively and vigorous, the negotiations on the "Speed ​​and Passion" series did not go as smoothly as imagined.

After leaving Universal Pictures, Andy did not get angry, but calmed down, rearranged the ins and outs of the whole thing, and then notified the company, and began to inquire about news through the vast number of contacts.

The creative artist brokerage company is famous for sharing resources. The resources of the brokers are open to all the contracted artists of the company. Similarly, the resources of the contracted artists are also open to all the brokers, and ultimately realize the sharing of benefits. This is Andy's advantage, and he naturally won't let it go easily.

Regarding the preparations for the sequel of "Fast and Furious", it is now the top secret project of Universal Pictures, and all the high-level people involved in the project are not easy to inquire about the news. But the creative artist agency still got a small amount of news, allowing Andy to successfully piece together the whole picture of the puzzle.

The attitude of Universal Pictures is not difficult to guess, they hope to make money through the "Fast and Furious" series, the rumor and two sequels do exist, but they do not want to spend too much cost, the budget of each work Still hovering around 100 million, especially in terms of remuneration, they don't want to let go easily.

Although Renly's catalytic effect on "Fast & Furious 5" is obvious, but taking a step back, only one "Fast & Furious 5" has proven Renly's commercial box office potential so far. In addition, there is no evidence that Renly is outstanding for the time being. More importantly, it is two different things to play a leading role in literary and artistic works and to save the world in commercial films. Not everyone is suitable for the leading role in a commercial blockbuster. .

The most famous case is George Clooney, the absolute top actor in Hollywood, who is out of tune with the hero of a commercial blockbuster.

First, the fiasco of "Batman and Robin" in 1997, which directly led to Warner Bros. to seal the Batman series for nearly ten years; then after the millennium, "Perfect Storm", "Allied Treasure Team", "Tomorrowland" Successive defeats; the only "Eleven Arhats" series with a good box office, three films were filmed, but the box office revenue was worse than the last, and the last one was due to the excellent overseas box office, which was avoided. A tragic loss.

Even George is like this, not to mention the pink newcomer Renly? Universal Pictures doesn't want to take risks lightly.
