Chapter 151
Hollywood is the most realistic circle.
After the battle around the world, both David Geffen and Edgar Bronfman Jr.'s reputation and authority in the circle have been damaged to varying degrees. I think they lack business talent and management skills, and they are a perfect match.
However, Geffen's connections in the industry for many years should not be underestimated, and turned around and caused a lot of trouble for Josie or Tianji Films.
Connie Wilson reported on the phone, "The two supporting actors who have signed contracts for "The Trap" have resigned from the project through their agents almost at the same time. It is expected that there will be more people in the future, not just the actors who will leave us. "
"I see. Believe me, this problem will be resolved soon."
Josie answered in this way, and after finishing the phone call, she raised her eyes again, looked at the old white man in front of her, and asked with a smile, "Oh, sorry, where did we talk just now, Michael?"
In front of her, Michael Ovitz, who was able to control the wind and rain in Hollywood a few years ago, had a gentle and humble attitude, without any shadow of being aloof at the beginning.
"I have to say that after Geffen founded DreamWorks, he was really a little too arrogant." Michael Ovitz commented, "And it is precisely because of DreamWorks, because he and Spielberg, Katzenberg They have a conflict of fundamental interests with the Big Six—no one wants to see the rise of another giant.”
After experiencing the pinnacle of his career and the failure of the Disney trip, the former agent originally planned to go back to his old job, and was preparing for another CAA of his own: Artist Management Group (AMG), when he suddenly received a call from Josie. Horton, the big star, made a phone call, and his first reaction was to use his three-inch tongue again to poach him from CAA.
But unexpectedly, he himself was first moved by the CEO position of Skynet Media and his future career prospects offered by the other party.
The enemy of the enemy is the friend.
Josie herself was deeply disappointed by CAA's inaction in the war between Josie and Geffen - or rather, she had to show her disappointment - with the help of CAA's old club and sworn enemy Michael Ovitz Then, her agent Martha Miller suddenly brought someone to join the industry's rising star ETA (Endeavor Elite Agency).
The loss of such a heavyweight star is undoubtedly a big setback for CAA, and the little-known Brad Renfro, Brittany Murphy, and Stacey Dash have also switched jobs one after another, which is also very frustrating. It's dull.
But the problem is, neither ETA nor Josie Horton's group are the ones that CAA can handle at will - well, now they have added Rashida Jones with an amazing background.
Closer to home.
Although Michael Ovitz was caught off guard by David Geffen, the network resources accumulated over the years are still very useful, especially for Josie who has always had a shallow foundation in the circle.
"Then I hope they will work harder, maybe I will be able to acquire DreamWorks in a few years." Josie's tone was half joking and half serious, making people unpredictable.
"Acquisition? Ha, that's almost impossible." Michael Ovitz said in a flattering tone, "Hollywood is not just a game of capital, it has its own rules of the game. Steven Spielberg Greg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen, who among them is short of money? At our level, money is important, but not necessary, because power and status are more attractive to us .”
After the pure money value reaches a certain amount of accumulation, the temptation will decline like a cliff. For example, Qiao Qian has realized the basic freedom of wealth at present. She can sell the Sky Eye Network under her name. David Geffen and Bronfman Jr. turned around and retreated from the circle, lying on the dollar bills to live her chic, rich and beautiful life.
But that's not what she really wants, and it will even make her feel that life is meaningless and there is not much fun to speak of.
"No, I don't agree with you." Josie didn't agree with Michael Ovitz's argument, "Because the high probability is that you didn't spend enough money-look at Sony, isn't it because of Throwing money and knocking on such exclusive doors in Hollywood?"
That's what's great about America.
In the presence of holy Franklin, these people don't care where their ass is, they still welcome the book-waving books and arrange them clearly.
Michael Ovitz was momentarily choked by Josie's point of view, because she did break down Geffen's fortress with money, not only took down Barry Diller's mouth, but also made Bronfman and Geffen differences are beginning to emerge.
In fact, these Hollywood filmmakers are not as pursuing as he said. The end of power desire is still related to the distribution of interests, and money is an indispensable part of it.
"I admit, what you said makes sense." Michael Ovitz shook his head, "But the problem is, you are not Edgar Bronfman Jr."
"Oh, I like this surname." Josie pursed her lips very rarely, her pretty face revealed a childish waywardness, "He is really a good person!"
However, Michael Ovitz would not regard the blonde in front of him as that kind of willful and innocent girl again. In fact, her ambition and intelligence are far better than most of the men in the circle.
So he took a sip of the coffee on the table in disguise, and made sure that the paparazzi arranged in advance could take pictures of their happy conversation.
Michael Ovitz said: "Okay, let's get down to business, as the CEO of Skynet Media..."
"Correction, I personally selected the agent, who is also the CEO of Skynet Media." Josie emphasized this point. She did not intend to let Michael Ovitz, who is known for his strong style, let go of Skynet Media. to cast.
"Anyway—" The little Jew shrugged and continued, "As a partner, I have two pieces of advice for you. First, you may not have noticed that you haven't been in love for a long time, and maybe you You can let your PR work, which will help your next new movie and the Olympics; second, Quincy Jones must provide help for his daughter, unless Rashida Jones is also planning to withdraw from "Stealing the Sky" "Trap" project - but we all know that if this situation does not appear in the first place, it means that it will not appear."
Obviously, it was difficult for Rashida Jones to find another role that suited her so well, so when Josie returned to Los Angeles to film Josh's latest MV, Rashida Jones also followed.
Obviously Quincy Jones thought it was a good thing for his children to continue to play with the two hottest stars in the United States, even though Josie and Geffen's gang had a lot of trouble - but the result was that the former was still alive and kicking, which showed that A lot of questions.
Josie didn't change her hair color, but maintained her recent look. She wore an extremely slim silver-gray skirt, and her four-inch high heels were even more murderous.
Josh, who was making the final adjustments to his hairstyle, looked over at the first moment, turned his head and said something to the MV director Zach Schneider beside him, and then the latter asked the makeup artist to mess up Josie's low side ponytail, letting him Her blond hair fell loose.
Josh explained before the filming started, "Although the inspiration for this song comes from the movie, this is more in line with my imagination."
He has short silver-white hair, and is wearing a large suit jacket, the color is very eye-catching bright red. Few young men can wear this look cold and sexy like him, and at the same time Aggressively handsome.
"What imagination?" Josie asked curiously.
"Imagine the picture of you looking back in the wind, with your hair flying." Josh replied, "And behind you is the endless deep sea, and you step down from the altar like a goddess."
The idea was great, but problems arose when shooting in front of the green screen.
When the blower started to work, Josie's hair, which was not long enough, obviously couldn't achieve the effect Josh wanted to see, and it always made people feel that something was missing.
The shot here is Josie slowly walking out of the pool, and the camera gives her medium shots and close-ups. The whole picture matches the overall style of the MV, and it must be that kind of mysterious, gloomy and glamorous effect.
Josie dropped the high heels that got in the way when she was taking the first shot. Looking at the picture of the blower working hard on the monitor, she touched her chin and said, "Is there any hair oil? Give me some."
The picture of flying hair turned into temptation with wet hair.
Under the darkness of night, the deep sea hides darkly.
The stingy and cold moonlight shrouded the entire sea surface, making its silver ripples filled with cold light, giving it a kind of melancholy and moving beauty.
An incomparable blond beauty is gliding through the waves.
Her body was covered with the moisture of the sea water, the long hair that was casually slashed back was still dripping, and the fabrics all over her body were also soaked, but these did not damage her beauty at all, but made her beyond her beauty, A little more mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.
The sea water had just flowed over her waist, rippling slightly as she walked, but the light did not illuminate her face, but hid her facial features in just the right shadow.
At this time, she took another step forward.
The moonlight poured down, and the sea water soaked through the thin dress, clinging to her curvy body, dripping water continuously.
The camera does a Kubrick stare here.
The position of the camera is placed below the actor's line of sight, and the actor lowers his head slightly and performs in close-up, which gives him a great omniscient advantage and a sense of threat.
The blond beauty slightly raised her brows and lowered her brows slightly.
As a result, her eyes look sharp and oppressive, and those amazing eyes show a magnificent cornflower blue at this moment, which complements the beautiful diamond that fell into the bottom of the sea.
And she raised an arm from the water, slowly inserted her fingers between the hair, and hooked the corners of her lips in front of the camera.
A glistening droplet of water slid down her lashes, perfectly captured by the camera, capturing all of her stunning beauty.
"I bend, I bend!"
"Who calls her Sweetheart?"
"She's even more charming than in the Titanic!"
"Oh my god, is there something wrong with me? A woman like me really wants to be by her..."
Hearing this, Josh couldn't help frowning.
The female staff at the scene were whispering, and as for the men at the scene—regardless of their sexual orientation—only the director himself could keep calm.
Especially Josh, the male lead of the MV.
Because the next thing to be filmed is the scene of him and the MV heroine making love and kissing in the sea, Zack Schneider has already set the tone of ambiguity full of sexual tension, not only arranged a close-fitting dance, but also an extreme An entangled kiss scene.
Josh felt a little regretful... Why did he write that kind of unscrupulous little yellow song?
Well, to a hip-hop artist other than himself, the scale of the song really doesn't matter, and he didn't feel out of place when he recorded it in the studio.
But the problem is, Zack Snyder asked them to get wet and close, and he also squirmed and sang in her ear?
This is too shameful...
Despite a lot of psychological construction, in fact Josh was fully in the state at the beginning of the filming, and there was no tweaking and affectation that he expected.
Because the moment he met Josie's eyes, the state of inspiration when writing this song came again!
"I think this MV will definitely be a hit." After filming, Zach Schneider commented, "The tension between them makes the blood pump and the heart beat fast. I have to say, his fans will love this .”
However, his deputy grinned, "Hey, the fire is sure to be popular, but not necessarily if you like it. It's more likely that those nervous little girls will go crazy-but whoever makes Josh is obsessed with our sweetheart Where's the lady?"
