Chapter 290 Bond Girl
Not only the executives of MGM Pictures are celebrating the only good news this year, but even the senior partners of CAA are overjoyed.
Although each broker claims to be a partner, there are still differences in levels.
Robert was originally just a low-level agent, but after signing Eve, a super potential stock, his status soared, and now he can participate in meetings of senior partners, which can be compared with Evan Stoff and others.
This is how one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.
Eve not only became a first-line star herself, but also made her agent go up.
"You have all read the box office figures. Eve is now an absolute first-line star. Let's see if there are any suitable projects for her, or commercial resources. We have given her too few resources. Maybe the other family will come back to poach people."
Thomas, the vice president of the company, can see very clearly that most of these film resources are obtained by Eve himself, and the company has given little help. Apart from Armani's endorsement, there are no commercial resources.
The most important thing is that this endorsement came because of her and Keanu's popularity and fashion, and the company didn't put much effort into it.
Why keep an A-list star?
Playing the emotional card is the last way, and only the relationship of interests is the tightest.
Evan Stoff said: "Don't worry about the business side. A jewelry brand we often cooperate with has already finalized the cooperation intention, and the contract will not be signed before the Oscars at the latest."
Now Eve's momentum to sweep the award season is very obvious. If she can wear the brand's jewelry to accept the award on stage, the amount of attention will be too scary.
Thomas asked, "What treatment?"
"Cartier's full-line endorsement, watches and jewelry. The endorsement fee currently being negotiated is 800 million US dollars a year, and I hope to cooperate for a longer time."
"In addition, there are also skin care products and makeup endorsements. We are actively contacting the Estee Lauder Group to see the reaction of this brand. After all, Eve has a certain popularity in North America and even the world."
Female celebrities are better than male celebrities in advertising endorsements, because many luxury goods are mainly aimed at women. They are young, beautiful, good-looking, and popular. There are still so few endorsements on such people, and they can be superimposed on them.
Not only can Eve enjoy the benefits of this surge in endorsement fees, CAA can actually get 10% of the income from it, so why not do it?
Just like female models dominate the modeling industry, female stars are also stronger than male stars in the field of advertising endorsements. After all, there are too few types of male stars to endorse.
Seeing this, Robert couldn't help but said in a low voice: "It's best not to make too many official announcements at one time in the business sector, it's easy to cause disgust. We can release an advertisement every once in a while, which will not only maintain Eve's popularity, but also give The audience creates a good feeling.”
He wanted to let Eve develop for a long time, instead of rushing to make money by launching her two movies when they were selling well, which was a bit too ugly.
Even if it's all high-end advertising endorsements, it's still advertising.
The mid-to-low end is not even under consideration. There is no need to destroy the cash cow for a few dollars.
Hollywood is not South Korea. The decision-making power is in the hands of the actors themselves. It is not that the brokerage company is willing to accept whatever commercial it says it will accept.
"What about the most important film resources?" Thomas said to himself, "For actors, film resources are the most important. After Eve has completed her Olympic goal this year, next year's Oscars should not be awarded to her again. , then we need to consolidate our position as an acting school, and try to make commercial films."
Evan and Robert looked at each other and shook their heads almost at the same time: "The commercial films that have been filmed so far are "Bourne Shadow" and "Shrek". There is also a love movie "The Notebook" that will start after the New Year."
"We are talking about "Spider-Man" with Sony Columbia, but the disagreement is very serious. Eve wants to modify the script, and Columbia would rather let go of the salary and dividends than change the script."
They all know that Eve is an actor with a lot of ideas. If the script doesn't satisfy her, she may not be able to pay the $1000 million salary at all.
Another senior partner, Carl, said with a smile: "Actually, there is another way. Isn't Eve temporarily bringing MGM back to life? MGM has nothing else, but the source library is very large, and there are many well-known movies. IP."
The opening animation of many old movies is the roaring lion, which is the logo of MGM movies.
"Gone with the Wind", "Blue Bridge", "Cat and Jerry", "Singin' in the Rain", "Ben-Hur", "Rocky", "Rain Man" and "007" series are all well-known. Jin Ding, the whole of Hollywood is watching when MGM will go bankrupt, and who will take over it.
After being reminded by Carl, an idea suddenly appeared in Evan Stoff's mind.
"The last time MGM made a 007 movie was in 1998, right? Do you think it's possible for Eve to be a Bond girl?"
Vice President Thomas thought about it carefully, and said: "According to the plan, there should be a film in 2002, but the shooting plan has not yet come out. It should be a good idea for Eve to play the heroine of the new 007 movie."
The reason why they know the plan of the 007 movie is entirely because the new James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan is a signed artist of CAA!
If this can take down both the hero and heroine of "Bond 20", it will be an announcement to Hollywood that the once powerful CAA is back!
Their company has always been responsible for the actor packaging strategy. A considerable number of actors were already sent in the last "Bond 19", but the heroine was taken by Sophie Marceau.
This time, it can not only meet Eve's needs in commercial films, but also attract more stars to join the agency.
In their opinion, "Bond 20" must have a higher box office than "The Bourne" with a similar theme, and it is more guaranteed to star in such a top IP.
What's more, the next 007 movie is the 20th film in the series, and it is also the 40th anniversary of the birth of the movie image, which will definitely arouse the commemoration of the audience and fans.
In such an important movie, it's totally worth choosing some actresses who can hold their own
Although James Bond is an agent of the British MI[-], and the background of the whole story also takes place in the British background, it is a movie made by Hollywood, but the male protagonists are all British.
The first James Bond was the famous Sean Connery, who retired from the role of James Bond after he played six main stories and one side story.
Next, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Darden and others also starred in James Bond. Pierce Brosnan is already the fifth Bond, having filmed "Golden Eye", "Tomorrow" Empire" and "Dark Crisis" three movies.
The last few films have been good, typical global films. "Golden Eye" earned US$1.06 million in North America and US$2.45 million overseas; although "Tomorrow's Empire" hit "Titanic", it still earned 1.25 million U.S. words in North America and 2.07 million overseas.
As for the latest "Black Sun Crisis", there is basically no change, with 1.27 million in North America and 2.35 million overseas.
The global box office has steadily exceeded 3 million, which is already considered a big IP.
"This proposal can be considered. I will talk to Pierce's agent Rick later." Thomas was very satisfied, and he had already started to imagine the blueprint.
It was the first time for Robert to participate in this kind of meeting, silently as an audience.
But after coming out of the meeting room, he immediately followed Evan Stoff into the office, and said with some anxiety: "It's a good thing to play a Bond girl, but Eve may not agree, she is unwilling to play the role of a vase."
If you are in the mood to play a vase, you won't be entangled in "Spider-Man" for so long.
Bond girls are easy to understand, they are the ones who played the heroine in the 007 movie. Bond has made 19 films, and the actors who have played the heroine are almost all sexy and beautiful vases.
It's just that the types of vases are different, either a beautiful woman with a simple mind and great kindness, or a good guy who is used by bad guys, or Bond's companion, and a femme fatale who has emotional entanglements with Bond but wants to kill him woman.
The latest Bond girl is Michelle Yeoh, who knows Chinese Kung Fu. She is no longer a vassal, but Bond's assistant.
It can be said that beauties from the East and the West all appeared in 007 movies, and became the object of discussion among the audience, and it was also an important reason that drove them into the cinema.
As Eve's manager, Robert knew how difficult it was to convince her. MGM might agree, but Eve was stuck.
Evan Stoff also understood the difficulty of his client, but he had a sense of certainty about this project.
"So we have to make a good plan. We can't take the initiative to ask MGM for this role. We should wait for MGM to realize Eve's box office appeal, recognize Eve's acting skills and appearance, and be willing to use her Willingness and image to create scripts."
Anyway, because of Pierce Brosnan's relationship, CAA can get first-hand news.
All they had to do was to insinuate and hand over their ideas to MGM to come up with them.
Robert said with some concern: "Will MGM do this?"
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how bad MGM is, it is one of the eight major film and television companies in Hollywood, and they will not let themselves and others achieve their goals so easily.
"Give it a try. I think the chances are great. It's a pity that Nasdaq is closed today. Otherwise, I would find a familiar reporter to report the news."
"Then you can handle this matter in detail. I don't think you need to tell her for the time being." Robert didn't want to make extra troubles. It's best to talk about this matter after there is a specific progress.
The author has something to say: Knock on the blackboard: The new 007 movie will be written based on Eve.How to do this, and how to arrange the plot of the 007 movie, please read the following article, don't be too anxious to draw a conclusion.
