Hollywood legendary director

In the reception room.

Several people are sitting loosely.

The reporter who came to interview was the WB TV network under Warner Bros. In the past, the two parties did not say hello, and the relationship was pretty good.In addition, the red envelope car and horse fees are not underpaid, and I am also my own.

After pouring a few cups of coffee, the assistant closed the door and retreated.

The cameraman on the side was fiddling with the machine. When it was about time, the interview officially began.

This reporter worked very hard, basically no nonsense, and did not dig traps, the key is to ask for ideas.People have to admire, that's it, professional.The value of money.

"Now everyone has a lot of bad comments on this movie, and there are even many people who criticize your role performance in it. What do you think of this?"

Brad Pitt, sitting in a sitting position, said, "This is a less appropriate statement. A movie that the audience does not buy, or that the filming is not so satisfactory, must be caused by many reasons, not just to say How about a certain actor. "Troy" is completed step by step according to the normal preparation process. It is also the actor who has the creativity, script, and filming team first. I entered the crew and started filming in less than a week. Even the script given to me is just a part of my character. I don’t know what the film will be like?"

The reporter asked along the topic: "So, the actors' overall participation in this is the lowest?"

"Yes, like me, after making this movie, I also participated in other works. I was not informed until it was about to be released. At the premiere, it was also the first time I knew the whole plot completely."

"Then what do you think when you are watching?"

"I feel terrible, that's not me."

"Are you not satisfied with your performance?"

"It's kind of, but it's more that the scenes I played have a sense of abruptness. This is why the audience feels that I am not in the play."

After all, all the hints are the director's pot.The actors don’t remember.

Even the early publicity is to fulfill the agreement, not to actively exaggerate the movie's splendor.It's not even deceived, because he himself doesn't know whether the movie is good.

The two are like rehearsals, one question and one answer, and they cooperate in tacit understanding.

Towards the end, the reporter also published a report on the rigidity and streamlining of the Hollywood production model, as well as his expectations for the future of the film market. Then, the camera shut down.

Several people shook hands and made a few polite words.

Johnson Gray was also very foresighted and handed in an honorarium again, saying that it was from a long distance, the expenses of traveling, horse and board and lodging.

The TV station took it and was very satisfied. After being sent to the parking lot in person, he patted his chest to assure that the interview will be broadcast on the TV station tomorrow.

After the delivery, Brad Pitt and Gray returned to the office.

Continue to discuss the plan.

Obviously, the focus of public opinion is not so simple that it can be shifted. Since the director needs to be backed up, it is better for Warner to cooperate in private.

Of course, they are definitely willing to do so.

Anyway, this project will have a victim, so why can't it be the director Wolfgang Peterson?

And doing so has several advantages.

First, it is natural to divert attention.Not only Brad Pitt needs a good public opinion environment, Warner also needs it.

Second, it is also because the director Peterson is German and has a very shallow foundation in Hollywood. Even if he splashes dirty water, he can't do much.If he is a great director, maybe the one who should be the actor in the play, but unfortunately, he is not.

Third, the brokerage company also needs such a suitable backer, CAA, ICM, etc. have actors participating in this movie.

To put it bluntly, this kind of operation will be more convenient for Warner, can reduce losses, and can be suppressed together with the help of multiple forces.

Realistic, isn't it.

As for whether this will directly sever the director's future, it is not within the consideration of Brad Pitt and Warner.

As the saying goes, a dead fellow is not dead to a poor way.

Who made this movie overturned?

You do not take responsibility, who will take it.

Anyway, Warner will definitely not cooperate with such a smudged director for the second time.

Pete is different, and there is use value.

When you think about it this way, things become clear.

......

"Warner said it was for you to participate in a show."

A mansion in Beverly Hills, an agent of ICM, looked at the frowning Orlando Bloom and said.

The loss of "Troy" was not only a big loss for Brad Pitt, but Orlando Bloom's actor career even faced the risk of disruption.

You know, he doesn’t have as many works as Pete. He just relied on the role of the fairy prince in "The Lord of the Rings" and the role of the little blacksmith in "Pirates of the Caribbean" to gain a little prestige, and he suffered such a blow. For the newcomer actor, it is really scary.

What made this young man more uncomfortable was the changes in everything around him.

A few weeks ago, he was still ICM's most admired newcomer, and even senior figures in the agency were willing to greet him, screen movies for him, and invest resources in operation.

During that period, he could get many project plans from his agent every day, referring to which role to compete for. In the recent MTV movie festival, relying on the company’s personal connections, he got the "most Breakthrough Newcomer Award".

This kind of start should have gone smoothly.

But after the negative influence of "Troy" took off, he was criticized by many people as one of the most important male pairings.

In just a few days, the company's attitude has also changed drastically.

If it weren't for the salvation he still had, it might be the same as those actors who had achieved success but suddenly fell silent, were abandoned by the capital and fell to the bottom.

This is a terrible result that no one wants to accept.

So, after hearing what the agent said, Orlando Bloom asked, "When?"

"Tomorrow, you will listen to my arrangements."

Orlando Bloom adjusted his sitting posture unnaturally.He felt that his agent hadn't been so polite to him these days.

Such indicative words made him quite awkward.

The decline of "Troy" has also become more apparent after being reduced by theaters.

The box office in a single day jumped from more than 15 million yuan to the early thousand.

It's even worse on working days, and I can't even get ten million.

For a major production, such a situation can happen entirely because the reputation of the movie has been ruined.

In addition, Warner as the issuer is very slippery.

Seeing that the situation is wrong, even the publicity expenses have been cut by more than half.

This one has no publicity and no praise from the audience. If it gets better, there will be ghosts.
