The Greatest Showman

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The past few weeks have been turbulent and undercurrent. Andy Rogers and Michael Forte are officially in a battle of wits, along with, of course, Creative Artists Agency and Universal Pictures hidden behind them.

On this side, Vin Diesel continued to release goodwill in an interview with the media, saying that he was very much looking forward to the shooting and cooperation of the sequel. The good chemistry of the fifth film made him full of expectations for the future. Although there is no explicit statement, it is implied inside and outside the words: Renly and Paul please renew the contract as soon as possible.

At the same time, Universal Pictures has also been promoting their sincerity, saying that negotiations are being carried out actively, they are very eager to hope that Renly and Paul can return, and the topic of Luke Hobbs rumors has spread like wildfire. But the industry news has been rumored, "negotiations have always been deadlocked."

Public opinion naturally created an illusion that Renly and Paul were insatiable and willing to sacrifice their means for higher pay. Needless to say, people are quietly standing on the opposite side of the two.

On the other side, Renly Hall disappeared, first devoted himself to the filming of "Transcendence", and then went to the Caribbean for vacation. on the heart. What's more, Paul Walker's peers are in stark contrast to ignoring Vin Diesel's shouting from the air, and the "harmony" within the crew begins to raise questions.

In addition, there was an inside story from the crew of "Fast and Furious 5". During the filming period, Fan had been targeting Renly, first dismounting, and then secretly framed it, which led to a major reshuffle of the prop team members, and even It also caused Renly's injury. The sources are the cast members and anonymous members of the props crew. A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

On this side, Andy began to run around, Warner Bros., Disney, Paramount, Sony, high-profile attack, full bloom, in addition to "speed and passion", began to select other commercial works for Renly. Thanks to his solid acting skills, excellent appearance and huge commercial potential, Andy's work has been carried out very smoothly, and many works have expressed interest.

But what is interesting is that the current projects of interest have always stayed in the tentative stage, and there is no further news. It can be said that the two sides are not in a hurry, or it can be said that it is a smoke bomb. This is Andy's means to put pressure on Universal Pictures to make them realize that Renly is not just one choice.

On the other side, Universal Pictures began to put pressure on its personal connections and kept making waves in the industry. The sequel of "Fast and the Furious" has now been planned for three works. Renly is the most important part of them. I hope other crews can give schedules. convenience. To put it simply, it is actually a soft pressure, forcing other crews to think twice before making a decision.

At the same time, Universal Pictures also claimed that the remuneration they offered to Renly has reached as high as 4 million, and as for Luke Hobbs's rumored film, it has reached 5 million - the dividend part is not mentioned at all, such a treatment It is the best salary for second-tier actors before they enter the first-tier. But Renly remained ambitious and demanded more.

This step is undoubtedly looking for an alliance -- when the six major film companies raise their remuneration, they are allies. They work together to suppress actors' remuneration, reduce costs as much as possible, and win more benefits for themselves. Not to mention whether Universal Pictures' remuneration figures are accurate, but their self-exposure gave other companies a yardstick, which also made Andy's negotiations difficult.

From Vin Diesel to Michael Forte, and maybe even Ron Mayer, Universal has pulled together, and obviously, they didn't give the blue light for the "Fast and the Furious" sequel. Li left too much leeway.

"At present, there is no follow-up news for the four crews of 'Super Battleship', 'Alien Battlefield', 'Snow White and the Hunter', and 'Dragon Tiger Youth Team'." Andy did not describe the details of the process. Renly didn't need to know, but he told the result anyway, and the situation they were facing was not easy.

Ren Li raised his eyebrows slightly. Forget about the other three works, the "Dragon Tiger Youth Team" actually retreated, and hadn't even had face-to-face contact with him. It's really embarrassing, and personally, he still likes the comedy quite a bit, and challenge comedies are always a lot of fun.

But when you think about it, it's not surprising.

"Dragon Tiger Youth Team" is one of the six works produced by Sony Columbia Pictures; and the investment cost is only 42 million, and the remuneration is definitely not as good as those works that cost over 100 million; I haven't handed over the box office results of comedy works, and "Me Against Cancer" has not been released yet.

After all consideration, they gave up on Renly first, which is also excusable.

First "Evil Boss", then "Dragon Tiger Youth Team", Renly couldn't help thinking seriously, when will his wish to star in a shit/urine/fart/comedy come true? It used to be just an idea, but now this idea is gradually taking root and thriving. The more you miss, the more you crave.

Putting the "Dragon Tiger Youth Team" aside for the time being, Andy's meaning couldn't be more clear.

Both hard and soft, three-handed preparation, external and internal forces compress the living space, and at the same time continue to put pressure on Andy, but at the same time refuse to compromise in terms of remuneration and treatment. Universal Pictures has exhausted its means for the "Fast and Furious" series, which reminds Renly of the state of Dwayne Johnson.

"Isn't there any other rumor in the industry that Universal Pictures approached Dwayne Johnson or something?" Renly was not only not nervous at all, but also half-jokingly "advised" Universal Pictures.

Andy retracted his chin with satisfaction, Renly's reaction was expected, and beyond his imagination, and his mood relaxed, "Yes, the current news, Dwayne Johnson , Jason Statham, Scott-eaood, Chris Hemsworth. That's all for now."

The original Dwayne Johnson is now Renly Hall.

The meaning of Universal Pictures can't be more clear: in Hollywood, no one is irreplaceable, we have shown enough sincerity, please don't take an inch.

Objectively speaking, compared to Dawn last year, the treatment given by Universal Pictures to Renly has been greatly improved, and they have indeed shown their sincerity. The problem is, Renly is not Dawn.

"Huh, the cycle of cause and effect, circled around, and returned to the original point." Renly still had the mind to joke, took a sip of beer, and said happily.

A year ago, the salary negotiation between the "Fast and the Furious 5" crew and Dwayne Johnson came to a deadlock. Dawn refused to give in, so Andy took advantage of the situation, carefully designed, and acted afterward. Wuxin not only successfully won the work for Renly, but also won the right to box office dividends. And Dawn eventually joined the "Expendables" crew.

A year later, pay talks between the "Fast and the Furious" sequel team and Renly Hall have stalled. Such a familiar situation is actually happening again. Is it the fault of the actors, or the fault of the crew and the film company?

"So, what about the follow-up news?" Renly knew that they had discussed it before, and Andy's arrangements for this period of time were also according to plan. He must have made a breakthrough now, and the time was pressing, so he chose this time. In the evening, he came over so impatiently.

Looking at Renly's complacent appearance, Andy knew that this was his trust in him, but he joked, "Can't you cooperate with the performance? Make me feel some sense of accomplishment?"

Recently, Andy has been hanging on Universal Pictures. He didn't reject them neatly, but he didn't decisively push for negotiations. There are reasons for everything.

On the one hand, Andy is really working on the sequel of "Fast and Furious", Renly can play, but the salary must not be too low, so that Universal Pictures, the Grandet, cannot easily succeed; on the other hand, Andy dragged Universal Pictures all the time. He knew that this year was different from last year. Renly's version of Hobbs had already won the audience's approval, so it was impossible for the crew to change actors as neatly as last year, so the longer he dragged on. , the more unfavorable the situation for Universal Pictures, in other words, the more room for Paul Walker to increase his salary, and the more open the actor who succeeds Renly will be.

It's as if Andy took a bite out of the box office bonus last year.

In short, even if Renly doesn't appear in the sequel, Andy wants Universal Pictures to lose a piece of meat. Michael's teasing and taunting is part of the reason, and it's part of the reason why Universal has so little regard for Renly as a hero. In order to achieve such a goal, Andy has been so busy recently that he feels that he is about to lose weight.

But in the face of Andy's ridicule, Renly just shrugged, as if he felt that this sentence had no value in responding, and then Andy heard Roy's low laughter, and even he couldn't help but smile. , then did not continue to sell the key, and cut directly to the topic, "I just finished the meeting and got two projects from Warner Bros. Both projects have their own advantages and disadvantages, plus the projects that Roy has screened before, we need to quickly Make a decision to take advantage of the recent momentum to get a higher paycheck and get the news first before Universal comes back to its senses."

Before that, there was no substantial progress in Andy's contacts with major film companies, which gave Universal Pictures the illusion that all this was just Andy's smoke bomb; After that, Universal Pictures took the lead first. Whether it rejected Renly, interrupted negotiations, or put further pressure on the moral high ground through the media, Renly would fall into a disadvantageous situation.

So, not only do they need to keep a low profile, they also need to race against Michael. In Andy's view, "Pioneer Village Nights" and the Toronto Film Festival are well-timed to buy them some time.

"No problem." Renly nodded, indicating that he was ready.

Andy showed a satisfied smile, and then took out two scripts from his briefcase.
