[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 316

MGM did not treat the two actors differently, but rejected each of them, and then compensated at the same time, showing a relatively tough attitude.

The producer itself is a strong side when facing the actors. If they don't come forward to suppress the battle between the hero and heroine at this time, the progress of the crew will definitely be delayed.

Under the current situation, MGM still does not want to replace the hero and heroine, that is the last resort.

Every time a new James Bond movie appears, it means that the risk of uncontrollable movies will increase. Now MGM is in need of money. It is absolutely unwilling to have any accidents. It is best to maintain the status quo.

In fact, caa also very much hopes that MGM can stand up and be the villain. The agency has been unable to coordinate the conflict between the two, so it is most appropriate to find an outsider.

So when Eve received a call from Robert, she wasn't too surprised.

"It looks like we have achieved our goal, right?" Eve didn't care too much about the increased salary of 100 million US dollars, but what she cared about was MGM's attitude.

The appeals of the two actors were refuted to some extent, but this was already a victory for Eve, because they actually enjoyed the same treatment as the male lead in the James Bond movie, clearly stating that they are not the rimmed heroine !

In fact, when they proposed not to act as a couple with James Bond, they knew that this proposal would definitely be rejected.In terms of commercial factors, if handsome men and beautiful women are purely colleagues, then the visibility will be much less. Hollywood has spent decades to prove the correctness of this point.

Knowing that it would be rejected, he still proposed it, just to make MGM take a small step back and agree not to film bed-scenes and passion-scenes.

This is like bargaining, thinking that the psychological price of the product is 200 yuan, but when bargaining, you directly call 100 yuan, even if the seller feels that 100 yuan cannot be sold, he will return a slightly satisfactory price.

This is the case in many negotiations. First make an excessive request, and then raise a slightly less excessive request. Most people will agree to the latter one, feeling that their struggle has achieved results.

Eve is not really stupid, she has discussed with Robert and Evan, and thinks that MGM has a high possibility of agreeing to it. After all, the 007 series of movies have always been rated at pg13, and there is nothing to reveal and nothing to do with it. screen.

MGM's reaction actually surprised everyone in the industry. They actually rejected Pierce Brosnan's request for Eve's sake. They dared to refuse the leading actor in such a way, and they were really not afraid of stopping the show.

This is probably MGM's confidence. After all, they can live by changing the actors, but they cannot survive without the actors in the series of movies.

Now he can have a place in Hollywood, all because of playing the role of James Bond.If it is not satisfied, it is very likely that another Bond will be produced.

This is obviously Pierce's mistake. He didn't completely integrate himself with the character and make himself indispensable.

In the future series of films, the lack of a certain actor will really fail at the box office. For example, several veteran characters in the Marvel universe dare to take tens of millions of dollars in dividends, which means that Marvel will not change people.

At most, the role is written to death and retired, rather than replaced by other actors. The risk is too great.

Chacha Eve doesn't have such worries. Anyway, her heroine is basically a one-off, and she will end after acting in this one.At the same time, it doesn't rely on MGM. There are other types of movies waiting, and it's different if there is a way out.

"It must have achieved its goal. Now they want to sign a contract with you as soon as possible, and then start writing scripts and attracting investment." Robert said a little happily. This time, the entire Hollywood and even the entertainment industry will definitely see Eve in this regard. competitiveness.

"So anxious to attract investment? How much money did you lose earlier? "Legally Blonde" is [-] million in North America and [-] million in the world. Isn't the box office dividend and follow-up income not enough?"

"The current situation in the Nasdaq market is very bad. MGM's stock price has finally risen back, but before that, more than 1 million US dollars of loans are about to expire. They will use the "Bond 20" project to find bank financing , of course you have to hurry up."

The stock market has yet to recover, especially technology and entertainment-related industries.

Another important reason for Eve's victory is that she is now popular, and she is more likely to be favored by the bank's credit department than ordinary vase actresses, and can attract more box office, which will naturally allow the bank to grant more loans.

MGM had a cash flow problem and had to repay the loan. At the same time, it was not enough to start the film with an investment of more than 1 million US dollars, so it still had to find a bank to cooperate.

"It's impossible for me to come back now. "The Notebook" has only started filming for a few days, and I can only come back on the eve of the Golden Globes. You guys should be optimistic about the terms of the contract first, and then after I'm sure there is no problem, I will sign directly when I come back."

In fact, Eve has been cooperating with outside law firms for a long time, and all contracts not only have to be reviewed by CAA's legal affairs, but also have to be reviewed by two other law firms.

Although it is a bit troublesome and will increase the expenditure, it is more secure.

She had heard of too many celebrities who had accidents due to their contracts, and she didn't want to be one of them. So far, there have been basically no problems.

"The Golden Globes are coming soon, are you sure you want to wear that outfit?" Robert wanted to persuade her and change her mind.

Eve said solemnly: "I'm sure, it's an improved cheongsam specially designed and made by Mr. Armani for me. I think it will definitely catch the eyes of the media and the audience. No one will wear this at the Golden Globe Awards." clothing."

Not every piece of Armani's couture is suitable for walking on the red carpet, especially when Eve wore too many clothes during the previous awards season, which has already given Mr. Giorgio Armani some headaches.

After the final discussion, it was decided to tailor two sets of dresses for Eve, one was an improved cheongsam designed for the Golden Globes, and the other was an Oscar shirt.

The Golden Globe Awards are more open and entertaining than the Oscars, so wearing a cheongsam is not considered deviant, but it has a novel feeling, which will make people feel novel.

Eve felt that she had almost no chance to wear a cheongsam in Hollywood movies, so why not try it on the red carpet.

Robert sighed and said, "That's it, I wish you a smooth shooting."

In fact, he didn't understand Eve's obsession with this dress. He didn't even try it on. How could he be sure that it was suitable for the Golden Globes?Other female stars were dressed in fancy dresses, but Eve wore such a dress that even covered her arms, so there was really nothing to show.

Although Eve only has a little Chinese blood in this life, it does not prevent her from having a soul in this aspect. She had no chance before, but now it is a cheongsam specially designed by Giorgio Armani himself, and she did not ask him to design it. The fate is just right.

She has already begun to look forward to the appearance of herself wearing a cheongsam and standing on the red carpet masturbating the audience!

After hanging up the phone, Eve felt much better. She silently took a bite of the small cake in front of her to replenish her energy.

Recently filming in Charleston made her dare not go on a diet at all, and even dared to eat the natural enemy of female stars-cake in the middle of the night.

Because it is too cold to shoot in winter, if you don’t eat, you can’t maintain high-intensity shooting. It’s not worthwhile to faint on the set if you are cold and hungry.

She looked at the time and said to herself, "It should be morning in Sydney, why didn't you call?"

I used to call Keanu at this point every night before, but now I waited and waited but there was no response.

"Could it be forgotten?"

Eve is not the kind of person who just sits and waits to die. She picks up her Motorola phone and calls her boyfriend.

The call was quickly connected.

"Honey, are you busy now?" Eve asked with concern.

Keanu over there hurried out of the office, and only then did he have time to look at the time on his watch, and it was already 10 o'clock in the evening!

He replied: "Originally, I wanted to go to Charleston tonight to give you a surprise, but when I arrived in Los Angeles in the afternoon, I was called to the Netflix headquarters by the CEO of Netflix. Now they are making a difficult decision."

"You went back to Los Angeles? Didn't you mention that the movie was finished?"

"I originally thought I would have to wait another week, but my role has already been completed, and the rest is someone else's role, so I slipped away early, and they held a farewell party for me."

Eve suddenly realized, and then realized, it's just that the surprise was not delivered in time.

She was the one who encouraged her boyfriend to invest in Netflix. Now it seems that the situation is not good, and there are related responsibilities, so she is a little nervous: "Did something happen to Netflix?"

"Netflix can no longer survive, and has laid off a quarter of its employees in the past two weeks."

"No way?"

"The situation is very bad. Last year (2000) when they wanted to go public, the high-tech bubble burst, and no one in Silicon Valley and Wall Street was willing to continue investing. Some time ago, they took the initiative to find Blockbuster for acquisition, but the other party No way to respond. Now Netflix has been burning through cash and is almost unable to pay its employees."

Eve never expected that the first super-large butterfly effect she traveled through would appear on Netflix. Is this future giant going to perish because of her meddling?

In fact, she has always wanted the right to speak, but Hollywood is so big, traditional forces will basically not allow new forces to rise.

And if you want to survive in Hollywood, it is best to become an industry giant.

The previous investment in Netflix was one of the best choices, because it would shake up the entire Hollywood and compete with traditional Hollywood.

"Then is there any help for Netflix now?"

Eve doesn't believe that the future overlord of streaming media will die halfway like this!

The author has something to say: The little angels are very sorry. I am sorry that I did not fulfill my promise today. After learning that my uncle has advanced lung cancer in the afternoon, I have not been in the mood to type.

Hey, since he was a child, his parents worked outside and lived in his uncle's house, so he basically regarded him as a father.

After hearing the news, the sky was about to fall, and even knowing that he tried to buy pesticides to commit suicide would be uncomfortable. Fortunately, the pesticide seed store is now under strict management and did not sell them to him, otherwise things would be troublesome.

There is basically nothing I can do. I will update after adjusting my mentality tomorrow.
