Heads Up Hollywood

Tracy Jacobs is a well-known agent in Hollywood. He once played for CAA. In 1998, he was poached by UTA at a high price and became the vice president of UTA agency company in one fell swoop.

In addition to her extensive network and strong ability, the reason why she is so reused by UTA is because she has an ace actor in her hands-Johnny Depp!

The current Johnny Depp, although not a superstar, but his personalized performance makes him stand at the pinnacle of the first-line actors, and he doesn't worry about film appointments at all.

This summer, he starred in the 20th Century Fox thriller "From Hell", where he is the leading man.

Now that "From Hell" has been filmed, Tracy Jacobs immediately received a new film contract, directed by Johnny Depp's old partner Tim Burton, it is a huge investment. Blockbuster "Pirate Alliance: The Curse of the Black Pearl"!

In the past, Tracy Jacobs would have accepted such an offer without hesitation.

Johnny Depp is a star dug out by Tim Burton. The two have been friends for many years, and they are also the number one male in a commercial blockbuster with an investment of at least 150 million US dollars!

But the current situation is completely different, because "Pirate Alliance: The Curse of the Black Pearl" is a film invested and produced by Tang En Pictures!

Disney and Twain Pictures were in a quarrel, and issued banning orders to each other. At this time, as long as there is a smart guy, they will not participate in this troubled water.

The "banning order" matter will definitely not be shelved like this. After a long time, it will have a very bad impact on Hollywood.

Although Tracy Jacobs didn't know yet, she was sure that there must be big figures behind the scenes quietly working to resolve the conflict between Tang En Pictures and Disney.

After this farce is over, the two parties will negotiate on the film contract, which is more in the interests of Tracy Jacobs and Johnny Depp.

However, Johnny Depp has a weird temper!

"I don't care about shit Disney, I just know that Tim helped me in my most difficult time! And "Pirate League" is a commercial blockbuster with huge investment, I need this opportunity!" Johnny Depp She was not given a chance to dissuade her at all, and her attitude was very tough.

Tracy Jacobs said bitterly: "John, I never stopped you from collaborating with director Tim Burton again, but the timing is not good now. Anyway, the "Pirate Alliance" project has not yet been approved, We can delay for half a year."

In her opinion, half a year is enough time for big shots to resolve the bad effects of the "banning order".

Johnny Depp said: "Delay? No, it's impossible! I need to sign the crew of "Pirate League" immediately. Tracy, I understand your scruples, but in my eyes, only movies. Tim Having said that, this movie is tailor-made for me, and I need to participate in the pre-production of the crew to better integrate into the role."

"It's about the ban... John, don't forget, it's Disney!" Tracy Jacobs warned in a low voice.

Johnny Depp curled his lips in disdain, "So what? Disney is still doing cartoons, do they understand movies? In contrast, Tang En Pictures is the new symbol of the new century. I heard that "Pirate League" series, Dunn Walker will act as producer himself? I look forward to working with him."

Tracy Jacobs is both bitter and helpless.

Johnny Dept's maverick character makes him unique in Hollywood. Many people say that Tom Cruise can be replaced, but Johnny Depp is irreplaceable, referring to his unique way of acting.

However, this also brought a lot of trouble to Tracy Jacobs' work.

UTA's agency is not a giant like CAA or WMA. Once the relationship with Disney is not properly handled, it is likely to affect other artists in the company.

But Johnny Depp is the biggest star in her hand, she must do things according to his will, otherwise he will change the brokerage company in a fit of anger, and it will be miserable.

Now, what the hell to do?

Tracy Jacobs looked dazed, unable to make up her mind.

After the incident of the banning order broke out, the entire Hollywood front-line actors cleverly avoided the storm. So far, only the veteran film star Jack Nicholson made a strong statement and stood by Twain's side.

Although Bruce Willis also publicly stated that he was willing to start a long-term cooperation with Disney, everyone with a discerning eye knew that this guy was already on Tang En's "banned" list. Even if he wanted to sit on the fence, it would depend on whether Tang En agreed.

At this juncture when the "banning order" is in full swing, Johnny Depp chose to cooperate with Tang En Pictures with great fanfare. This is simply a slap in the face of Disney!

Jack Nicholson can rely on his old age to sell his old age, but Johnny Depp can't. He is only 37 years old, which is the golden age of an actor.

what to do?

Sitting in the office, Tracy Jacobs mechanized fiddled with the computer on the desk, feeling lost in her mind.

Suddenly, on Yahoo's entertainment page, her eyes seemed to turn into luminous objects, releasing countless rays of light, her whole body was invigorated, and she stared closely at the entertainment news on the screen.

Her heartbeat, like a drumbeat, was getting faster and faster!

Even when she quarreled with Johnny Depp just now, she was never so nervous and excited.

The entertainment news reported by Yahoo seemed worthless, and even the editor put it in a corner when it was typesetting.

But Tracy Jacobs, who is a Hollywood media, immediately noticed the value of this news!

This is definitely breaking news!

The content of the title is very inconspicuous, "Mel Gibson joins \u003cBeautiful Mind\u003e", but the deep meaning behind it made Tracy Jacobs shudder.

After Jack Nicholson, another actor with strength, status and influence has joined the team.

This time, it's Mel Gibson, the number one action superstar in Hollywood today!

The content of the news is very simple, "Yahoo reported: Mel Gibson recently joined the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" and played a guest role as a university professor. It is said that Mel Gibson won't get a penny for this cameo. According to his agent, Mel Gibson lost a bet with director Don Walker, which led to this cameo."

Tracy Jacobs scoffed at the content of the news. The reason for the bet was ridiculous. This must be the argument that Mel Gibson's agent wanted to ease the relationship with Disney in order to shirk responsibility.

However, no matter how many reasons there are, they cannot cover up the fact.

Mel Gibson resolutely and resolutely chose Tang En Pictures when this "banning order" was at its hottest, which is definitely a slap in the face of Disney! And it was unceremoniously and fiercely beaten!

This Australian tough guy is really tough enough!

Such a report may seem unremarkable to ordinary people, but it can be seen from the more than 2,000 hits that it is not a hot topic.

However, for Tracy Jacobs, it was like thunder on the ground, both shocking and pleasantly surprised!

Johnny Depp matter, there is help!

With Mel Gibson up front, Tracy Jacobs has more confidence. Since it is impossible to change Johnny Depp's mind, it is better to use Mel Gibson's momentum to complete the negotiation with the crew of "Pirate Alliance".

If it draws the wrath of Disney, Mel Gibson can be put in front, and the pressure on Johnny Depp will be much less.

...

Entering September, Disney's movie "Fox and Dog Party" failed in both box office and word of mouth. According to the current box office trend, it is a miracle that the North American box office of this film with an investment of 35 million US dollars can exceed 10 million US dollars.

As for the overseas box office...if it can be released overseas, it is considered a success.

In comparison, Tang En Pictures' "Soul Shifting Girl" has a solid reputation. Although the box office has always been ranked in the middle, it has a strong word-of-mouth support, and the victory is long-lasting.

The crew of "A Beautiful Mind" filming far away in the Boston area will release one or two messages from time to time to maintain the media's attention.

The fact that Mel Gibson joined the cameo immediately caused a shock in Hollywood!

Especially among giant film companies and first-line stars, everyone's face will change drastically when they hear this news.

Tang En Pictures is too strong, right?

First, a veteran actor like Jack Nicholson, and then a popular superstar like Mel Gibson. The appearance of the two of them immediately made the current competition between Tang En Pictures and Disney about the "banning order" stalemate, showing a One-sided situation.

It was not the media giant Disney that showed the winning side, but the emerging film company Tang En Pictures!

Such a situation is so shocking!

Disney has the big name of an old studio, but it can't attract the support of stars. On the contrary, Twain Pictures, which was established only three years ago, has already formed a huge pattern in Hollywood.

Is the strength of Tang En Pictures already so strong?

With Michael Eisner's strong character and iron fist, he will not let it go. Jack Nicholson and Mel Gibson's support for Twain Films is actually a small matter, and it will not have much impact on Disney.

However, Disney's face cannot be lost!

It is conceivable that Michael Eisner must be very angry and annoyed at this time!

Perhaps, he is brewing a new layout!

At the core level of Hollywood, there were different opinions, guessing what kind of counterattack Michael Eisner would come up with, Tang En Pictures held a press conference, and released another news that made everyone dumbfounded and goosebumps off. News from all over the place——

Johnny Depp has signed a contract with Dunn Films, and he will be the number one male in the new film project of Dunn Films!

All of a sudden, Hollywood was in turmoil!

Tang En Pictures is already unstoppable!
