Hollywood legendary director

The director's business was finally shelved.

Lehman vaguely remembered that the original version seemed to be filmed by a TV drama director, but the name was forgotten. After all, with so many practitioners in Hollywood, those who are a little bit famous are not easy to remember. People in the marketing department can only continue to screen. There is only one requirement: good at photographing women.

As for the hostess selection, Lehman and Anne Hathaway had contacted once in the filming set of Brokeback Mountain. Although she is still not very familiar with it, Anne is also an artist under the caa banner. As long as she is invited inside caa, it is very Easy.

After the script was posted, Annie certainly did not refuse.

Then, I met again.

It's in the Death Star Building in caa.

Brian Lord personally accompanied him.

And Annie looked more beautiful after being carefully dressed.

A brown-red plaid shirt, wearing a coat outside, in this October day, showing white calves, red lips, soft face.

At first glance, it turned out to be a silly white sweet princess with a "Disney" style.

Of course, they are not stupid, they are just metaphors.

The shawl was blond, and the pupils were shiny.

In any case, this is a very good woman who can live with the beauty bestowed by God. The essence of this world depends on her looks, right?

Even in Hollywood, where beauty is like a cloud, Annie's looks are enough.

"We meet again, Annie." Lyman greeted with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Luster." Annie was a little cautious, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, showing her happiness.

In a few days, he is already a big man, and the senior partner of caa will also accompany him.

And when he came in together, Anne’s agent Bush-Leisman noticed Lyman’s admiring eyes and quickly took the initiative to find the topic and broke the silence. He smiled and said: "Mr. Rust, I and Annie are very serious. After studying the script of "Prada", Annie is happy to play the role of Andy. In this respect..."

"Don't worry, there is more than one candidate for the heroine, and we also invited Jessica and Charlize." Lehman began to put pressure on it, and then continued: "I'm here today, just a preliminary audition."

"Um." Bush said embarrassedly: "So, did Annie pass?"

He originally thought he had a great chance of winning, but when he met Jessica, who had only passed the "Sin City", and the South African diamond Charlize, Annie didn't have much advantage. Everyone had reached a certain level of face value. It's not a winner.

"Annie has a good image." Lyman affirmed.

After Annie was praised, she smiled politely.Very standard, it seems that there is no less practice, even the upward arc can be kept perfect.

"So, what is your salary standard?" Lehman asked directly.

Before this, Bush also discussed this with Annie. They agreed that the pay could be lower, but the box office must be split, because everyone knows that the movie project produced by Firefly is very likely to explode.

However, this requirement is precisely what Lehman cannot accept.

I directly rejected this.

Bush also wanted to argue with reason and tell Anne's past performance.

But Brian Lord on the side frowned, gave his family a warning look, and then half-joked: "Lyman, if this movie can't succeed, Annie will lose a lot."

These words almost negated Anne's value and made Anne's face a bit ugly. It was just that she couldn't say much when facing the real power of Caa.

But in the eyes of people like Brian, a hundred Annies are not as valuable as one Lyman.

After all, celebrity actors can be picked up by heaps of resources, but a director is still a powerful director. It cannot be arbitrarily drawn or created. What's more, relying on Lehman in the past few years, Caa doesn't know how many roles it will eat and how much profit it will make—— First-line actors are important, but second- and third-line and newcomers also need opportunities, and opportunities are obtained from film and television projects.

Of course, all these careful thoughts do not need to be explained in detail.

Moreover, Anne Hathaway does not have much bargaining power. In the past two years, she has gone to perform literary and artistic works, and she didn't get much success.

Bush was warned and could only give in, "Mr. Rust, how about $9.5 million?"

"Sorry, I think it's reasonable to remove the box office points for the first offer."

"7 million? Three years ago, Annie was worth that much. Moreover, this is the heroine with the most dramas, and there is no big-name actor."

"You have overlooked a fact." Lehman shook his head and said: "It is precisely because this is a female lead drama. For an actor like Annie, it is a real opportunity worth fighting for. If it is a male lead drama, how many Space to play? Who will the audience's sight give to? Even the vase is the absolute focus of the film. Can you understand?"

Bush was said to be embarrassed.

How could he fail to see that this is an opportunity for the actress, but the problem is that it is worth.

Not going up, but going down?

But in any case, you have to fight for it. After reading the script, Annie also attaches great importance to this work.

It should be said that the emphasis is on being able to truly be a "female lead", rather than a female lead who can set off a male lead under normal circumstances.

These are definitely two concepts. Let's not talk about the number of dramas. Such themes themselves are rare in Hollywood.

At this moment, feeling Lehman's strength, Bush glanced at Brian and found that he seemed to be getting up. He whispered a few words to Annie not secretly, and then walked outside with Brian.

It's deadlocked, let me talk about it myself.

Lehman watched the two leave amusedly, and once again looked at Annie, who was sitting on the opposite side. "Relax, this is just a contact. In fact, the choice of the heroine will not be decided immediately."

With a project with a production budget of close to 35 million, how could Firefly Pictures venture with such a huge sum of money?

In fact, trying to minimize production risks is what every studio is doing.

The only difference is that the value is not worth it.

But obviously, Anne’s offer made Lehman worthless, or rather, not equal.

In Lehman’s view, Annie needs such a chance to play more than he does. After all, Charlize Theron is absolutely suitable without her. As for Jessica, that’s a bargaining chip to make up for the women. The competition of the Lord comes under pressure.

Because her image is not suitable for playing a newcomer like Andy.

Annie noticed this change in attitude and felt a little disappointed. She felt that she was thinking too much, and she raised herself too high, but she quickly stabilized her mind.

If you don't even have such a state of mind, Hollywood will not be able to hang on, and it is full of rejection and bumping into walls.

If you are rejected once and you are not balanced once, how can you live?

No one is irreplaceable.
