231 Behind the scenes game
Dwayne Johnson felt as if a volcano was erupting in his chest. The irritating emotions were constantly erupting, like a beast trapped in a cage, rampaging but hitting walls on all sides. The unventable anger was almost about to explode.
So, he paced back and forth in the office anxiously. The office could accommodate at least thirty people for meetings, but his strong and tall body almost filled the entire office, and his terrifying intimidation overflowed everywhere. , as if all he needs to do is shake his body at will, and the entire space will be dismantled into pieces. There is no need for any verbal expression at all, and he can naturally make everyone else shut up and wait for him to give orders in fear..
Just like the Hulk.
Now everyone is thinking about the same question: If he is angry, will he really tear down the office?？
“Dawn! "Jake-Walce only had time to call out, and Dawn's laser-like eyes were projected over him, "What? What? What do you want to say? "Dawn strode to the desk and slammed his hands on the table. Jack was startled. He could even hear the painful groan/moaning of the solid mahogany table, and his body couldn't help but move back. He leaned back, but it didn't help, Dawn's saliva had splattered on his face.
“calm? Do you still want to calm me down? Damn it, don't you have anything else to say? Dawn's anger finally found an outlet, "Aren't you the top agent in the industry?" Don’t you even pay attention to innovative artist management companies? Aren’t you strategizing and resourceful? Then now is your time to show it off! You go tell Universal Pictures right now that I want a salary of 3.5 million! No, I want four million, hell four million! You give me his/her ground to talk to now! Tell them I'm ready to shoot at any time! Hurry, go quickly！”
Dawn's thunderous fury silenced the entire office. Except for Jack, his assistants, Dawn's assistants, and Dawn's managers all closed their mouths, and even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear..
“calm? Calm down! If I fuck your mother right now, will you calm down? ah? Will you? "Dawn's anger still didn't stop, "First it was the New York Times. That damn reporter swore that the young boy would definitely appear! That's the 'New York Times'! 'The New York Times'! And then there's 'Vanity Fair'! Now even the 'Hollywood Reporter' has confirmed it！”
Dawn's bloodshot eyes swooped down and stared into Jack's eyes, "Tell me, if we can't believe even the news from the 'Hollywood Reporter', then what should we believe? Ah? Believe Jack - Shit-Wallace? How long are you waiting for? Did you see Paul Walker's interview? The little bastard whose name I don’t even know? Vin Diesel, and Vin Diesel, he must be the bastard bitch! He is the bastard bitch!！”
Breathing heavily, Dawn forced herself to calm down. After her anger reached its extreme, she finally regained some sense and temporarily suppressed her voice, "I heard that Steven Spielberg personally found him. Ron Meyer, is this true?？”
Ron Meyer is the CEO of Universal Pictures. Steven and Lang have a close personal relationship. When DreamWorks was split up, the first buyer was actually Universal Pictures. If Steven steps in to endorse Renly, then There is no need to play this game anymore, you can declare the game over in advance.
“Dawn." Jack resisted the urge to raise his hand to wipe the saliva on his face and said calmly, "This is impossible." He spent a lot of effort not to curse the word "idiot" on his lips, and calmly said He continued to explain.
“What is Steven's identity and status; and what is Renly's role? Have you seen Steven say anything publicly about Renly in the past few months? Before, it was just for the promotion of the TV series. After the TV series ended, they had no relationship. Renly was just an ordinary member of the thousands of actors. What's more, even if Steven and Renly had no relationship It's vulgar, but how could Steven take the initiative to find Lang just for a third supporting role? Is this debt of gratitude too light?？”
Anyone who is willing to calm down and think will soon discover the nonsense of these rumors. But Dawn is always too eager, too sincere, and too impulsive; fortunately, Dawn's manager is a sensible enough guy, constantly Please advise Dawn, otherwise things will be even more difficult.
“What if Steven really did this? "Dawn was still insisting, but her words softened obviously, "Otherwise, why would the New York Times and the Hollywood Reporter both say that, as if the little guy has already confirmed that he will join the crew?.”
“Dawn, these reports are just speculation. They didn't give exact reports. They just said that Renly's current situation looks good and the crew is very satisfied with him." Seeing that Dawn wanted to speak again, Jack hurriedly said He pressed his hands to calm Dawn's emotions, "I know, Paul and Fan have all made positive remarks. But, this is what Neil wants you to see, and this is what Universal Pictures wants you to see..”
Dawn finally settled down, but Jack had no time to relax and said while the iron was hot, "Now is the most critical moment. Do you know why the New York Times and the Hollywood Reporter are paying attention to this matter? And The focus of the report is on Renly? And Vanity Fair? Like you said, he is just a nobody. If it weren't for this report, we would never have heard of this name. So why all of a sudden? All the media have noticed him？”
As a senior agent at the William Morris Agency, Jack really had his way. In a blink of an eye, the furious Dawn fell into deep thought, "All this proves that Universal Pictures intends to add fuel to the fire behind the scenes. They just want you to panic." , just to make you afraid and then give in. If you think about it carefully, if Neil really decides to replace you with this little guy, what will he do? He will sign the contract quietly and then throw it to you? You're a bombshell, and I won't give you any time to react. The crew went back to filming..”
Dawn thought about it seriously, "Five days ago, you said exactly the same thing, and I agreed; but now, you still say the same thing, but the situation is no longer the same! Five days ago, there was no 'Hollywood' Where is the reporter?！”
If Dawn is stupid, he is not. In fact, he is just impulsive, but not stupid. But if Dawn is smart, he has the typical athlete's way of thinking. He goes straight and does not take detours. In fact, Gives people a headache.
“Dawn..." Jack only had time to open his mouth before Dawn interrupted him rudely again, "Why are you so determined? Why are you so sure that this is all just a conspiracy and not really happening? There has been no news from Neil in the past five days. Are you sure you still have things under control?？”
Jack took a deep breath, "Because I know it's impossible for Renly to play the role..”
This is the real big news. Jack was planning to tell it at the beginning of today's meeting, but Dawn was like a bull, unreasonable and didn't give him a chance at all. Sure enough, after telling it at this time , Dawn was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment..
“I just received the news this morning that Renly has joined another crew." Jack continued, "It is a very small crew, the investment may be less than 100,000 US dollars, and then there are a group of new directors, The new actors are joining in the fun together. Therefore, the entire industry has not received any news. I have told you before that he is the kind of artistic actor who relies on his acting skills, not an action actor. There is no way he can compete with you..”
After saying these words, Jack finally let out a long breath and looked at Dawn in front of him. "But, it's not important, and this work is not important either. What's important is that this work The filming just started three days ago. Do you know what this means? This means that Renly will not be available in a short time and will not be able to join the cast of 'Fast and Furious 5'.！”
The conclusion came out, but Dao En was still unwilling to accept it, "But……”
“No buts." This time, Jack accurately grasped the opportunity and took the initiative in the conversation, "Dawn, do you know how precious you are now? There is no actor like you in Hollywood. Maybe your acting career is relatively narrow, but in action movies, no one can compete with you. Vin Diesel? He is like a Barbie doll in front of you! The reason why he keeps going tit-for-tat with you is because he can't compete with you at all! What do I want to see? As long as there are action movies in the future, any company's number one choice will be you, and all scripts will have to wait for you to be selected before anyone else's turn.！”
The magnificent picture painted by Jack made Dawn show a look of yearning..
“Now, this time is our chance! Three and a half million! Trust me, you're worth the price! Universal Pictures also knows that they don’t lack the 1.5 million! I just want to suppress your arrogance! However, we cannot miss this opportunity because they are more anxious than us.”
Jack said eloquently, "As long as we hold on for a little longer, hold on for a little longer, up to half a month, believe me, you can win the crew of 'Fast and Furious 5'. By then, other action movies will come to you." For the leading role, our salary will be directly over 10 million to truly establish a foothold in the ranks of first-line actors!！”
In Hollywood, in addition to the 20 million club benchmark, 10 million is another threshold after deducting dividends. This value is not high, after all, there are 12 million and 15 million above. ; But as long as you enter the 10 million level, your status will undergo earth-shaking changes and you will truly become a "front-line player".”.
Dawn looked at Jack with stern eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "I will believe you again.！”
