"The global box office of "Life and Death" is close to 300 million US dollars."

In a caa office, Martin Bob seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be talking to Lovett on the opposite side, "The increase in the box office of the film will only make Warner Bros. pay more attention to Duke Rosenberg. The value of the grid reduces our weight."

He knocked on the table lightly and pondered, "Duke Rosenberg left Fox but hugged the thigh of Warner Bros. Warner Bros. won't just watch their investment fail. We will definitely not be able to use it. Too many methods outside the rules, otherwise Time Warner..."

Caa does a lot of things that are not easy to see, because they can create value. No one in Hollywood has an accounting comparison, but it really has to compete with one of the top three media groups in the United States... Well, they will be caught from the inside out. The people are clean and clean, and the other major brokerage companies will inevitably fall into trouble.

"Then we don't do anything?" Lovett was unwilling to face it, his feelings for Duke could be described as extremely complicated.

"The hand ∧∠ that I should use in private, I still have to do it, and when the post-production of "Brave to Death Island" is about to be completed, the news about Sean will be released."

At that time, the cost of changing the plot or the actors will be huge, and it will also remind the audience who is going to watch the movie to compare. Martin? Bob has obviously calculated it, "Also, we are looking for a big production, and "Fate Island" was released at the same time, completely suppress it!"

"James that I want you to contact? How about Cameron?" he asked Lovett.

"That..." Lovett organized the language a little, as if removing the indecent vocabulary from the original words," Cameron said, as long as he is on the "True Lies" crew for one day, Caa will not even want to get involved in his project. He would rather cancel the "True Lies" project than be a puppet of Caa!"

"Trash director without vision!"

Martin Bob can imagine that James Cameron must be in front of countless people, in the most arrogant and violent tone, yelling these rude words, "The vision will determine a person's future, Came Long’s achievements are limited to this. As long as he fails once, who will remember a truck driver in Hollywood."

"We need a project that can suppress "Death Island". He tapped the armrest of the chair lightly.

"Tom has always been very interested in "Interview with the Vampire"." Lovett suddenly reminded, "This was originally our next package project with 20th Century Fox, but it was temporarily shelved by them."

"Interview with the Vampires..." Martin Bob's percussive movements gradually increased. "Fox lost "Risk to Death Island". I must have some opinions on Duke Rosenberg. We can say " "Interview with the Vampire" has formed a luxurious cast, and this novel has a broad reader base. It can be..."

"Lovett, contact Tom for me... No, you pick him up yourself." Martin Bob stood up directly, "I'm going to see Ovitz and Townsend Rothman."

Not far from Century City, in a cafe in Beverly Hills, Duke put down his coffee cup and looked at Nicholas Cage sitting across from him.

Cage's hairline seems to have moved back a lot since the last time we met.

The two have been talking for a while, Nicholas Cage is still hesitating, Duke said again, "Nicholas, this will not affect your continued performance in literary films! It will not affect your pursuit of Oscars, if The success of the film can actually advance your career a big step forward. Think about it, in the next few years, maybe even the fans of the closed country on the other side of the Pacific will know you."

"Hey, that's Nicholas Cage, I just like his films." Duke opened his hands and said, "Don't you enjoy this feeling? This is a feeling that an independent film can't bring!"

Next to Cage sat his agent, who had long been tempted by the $5 million salary offered by the crew.

"Nicholas, it's time for us to enter the mainstream film circle." He persuaded.

Because she didn’t want her own words to affect her cousin’s decision, Sophia Coppola hadn’t spoken since sitting next to Duke. At this time, she looked at Duke and then at William Morris’s agent. She understood that even Cage If you don’t make a decision now, I’m afraid it will be signed on the actor contract soon.

Her eyes turned back to Duke. This calm and introverted guy, whether it be when bewitching Warner Bros. to refuse caa, or when persuading Nikolai to accept the role, is the simplest and most direct method, but it is also the most The easy way to impress people-fame and fortune!

In the Hollywood circle, who can get rid of the influence of these two? Sophia admits she can't, she knows Duke can't either.

"Regardless of success or failure..." Cage stood up over there, and offered his hand, "I will give you an answer as soon as possible."

"I hope to hear good news." Duke shook Cage's hand firmly, "I believe John and Sofia also want to work with you."

He was never pedantic, nor was he the stereotype of Naomi's mouth. At this time, he did not hesitate to pull out Cage's cousin John Schwarzman and cousin.

Sophia glared at Duke faintly, but said nothing.

The "Rock" studio, which is coordinating the "Break into Death Island" project, was formally established in Burbank last week. The crew preparing props, designing scenes, making storyboards, selecting actors, etc. are all in an orderly and simultaneous manner In Duke, Ed Harris, named by Duke, has agreed to audition, and Naomi Watts, who Nancy stuffed into the crew, has also been invited to audition.

The most difficult thing to deal with is the current literary and artistic youth Nicholas Cage. Duke has made several phone calls with him, but the effect is not obvious. Only then did he invite his agent to come out to meet.

If Nicholas Cage still refuses, then Duke will definitely change without hesitation. Cage is only the first choice, but not a must.

"Are you sure you want to give up the invitation to Sean Connery completely?"

After Cage left, Sophia recruited the waiter, exchanged two cups of coffee, sat opposite Duke, and said, "You don't plan to meet him and persuade him personally?"

"My dear, I don't have a mental retardation aura." Duke added a little sugar to his coffee. "Do you think that without Sean Connery's consent, Caa would offer 10 million dollars in terms of investment? Although he was He is called the most elegant and **** old man, but we all know what kind of person he is."

"Alcoholism, drug use, domestic violence..." Sophia shrugged and said Hollywood's consensus on Sean Connery, "Rude, impulsive, irritable, and often swearing."

"Since he refused, he is still on the side of Caa, and we know what kind of person he is." Duke spread his hands out, "Why go to him and humiliate himself."

All Hollywood knows that Sean Connery is a gentleman carefully packaged by caa. I might describe it as the opposite of gentleman.

"Sure Christopher Lee can surpass him?"

Hearing Sophia’s words, Duke shook his head, “Not sure. But don’t forget, Connery is never known for his excellent acting skills. I have seen some of Christopher Lee’s roles, and his acting skills are definitely not under Connery. And he has a real experience that Connery doesn't."

"What?" Sophia asked curiously.

"Warner collected some information." Duke recalled reading the content not long ago. "Lee went to Finland to participate in the war against the Soviet invasion when he was 17 years old, and he served in the famous British desert unit "Ghost Patrol". After fighting with Nazi Germany for several years, he later joined a special execution team in the United Kingdom, which mainly performed reconnaissance, spy, and sabotage tasks in the Nazi-occupied areas. After the end of World War II, he went to Yugoslavia as a spy again..."

"In other words, Li is probably the only actor who has really worked as an agent in Hollywood. It is not an exaggeration to describe it with his hands covered in blood. The important thing is that he, like Sean Connery, has an absolute level. The above acting skills definitely have no problem interpreting the role of an agent."

"This...this is not fake, right?" Sophia couldn't believe Duke's words.

"Warner used some connections in the UK." Duke shook his head at her, "Confirm that this is the real information."

"If he is willing to agree." Sophia set up the project and thought of another aspect, "This is a very good propaganda head. A once real British agent playing a British agent will definitely arouse the desire of many viewers."

"This is also what Warner and I thought about."

Why is Warner Bros. willing to go to the UK to verify these materials, precisely because it has great potential value, "but now is not the time, these should be placed in the most critical stage of the film promotion, especially on the caa side, if they release about Sean? With the news of Connery, if we launch a publicity campaign on Lee, the effect will be better. Li may not be as famous as him, but we can use Sean Connery's name to hype."

"It seems that the position of public relations promotion is more suitable for you," Sophia said with a faint nasal voice, and Wei Wei contained a hint of sarcasm, "not the director!"

"That's a misunderstanding." Duke held up a finger and shook Sophia. "These are all the propaganda strategies developed by Warner after Christopher Lee agreed to play. I'm just repeating it."

"In this case,"

Seeing Duke packing up his belongings and standing up, Sophia hurriedly followed, "Caa's problem is solved."

"It's just a temporary solution."

The role of John Mason must be adjusted according to Christopher Lee.

Feeling Sophia's hands habitually resting on his arms, Duke walked towards the outside of the cafe, "The final effect is still hard to say. We also have to be careful of caa, they may rush to take a bite at any time."

Although Christopher Lee did not have a particularly famous role in the past, Duke has some confidence in him. After all, the future Earl of Doku and Saruman are both excellent, and at the level of'British agents', if the first generation of 007 is If you are lucky, then Christopher Lee is exactly the "Jack Su"!
